Astros get Daulton Varsho for Spencer Arrighetti

Daulton Varsho

TOR Center Fielder #5

Player Stats

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports the Astros are finalizing a trade to acquire Daulton Varsho from the Blue Jays.

Varsho will switch clubhouses prior to Monday’s series opener at Daikin Park in Houston. The Athletic’s Mitch Bannon reports the Blue Jays are getting starter Spencer Arrighetti, who is currently on the injured list with right foot nerve irritation, back in the deal. Varsho shores up Houston’s significant need for a center fielder after Jake Meyers struggled to the point that he was demoted last month. The 30-year-old played a key role in Toronto’s run to the World Series last year. He’s supplied seven homers and nine steals in 365 plate appearances across 99 games this season.

Spencer Arrighetti

TOR Starting Pitcher #45

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Spener Arrighetti was tagged for six runs in 4 2/3 innings in Sunday’s loss to the Royals.

Arrighetti walked three and gave up two homers that accounted for five of the six runs. He’s allowed 14 earned runs and five homers in 15 2/3 innings over four outings for the Blue Jays. It’s possible he’ll start again next weekend against the Orioles, but the Jays would likely be open to alternatives.
Spencer Arrighetti

TOR Starting Pitcher #45

Blue Jays’ manager John Schneider confirmed that Spencer Arrighetti will start in Sunday’s series finale against the Royals.

The 26-year-old right-hander has been working behind an opener lately, but he’ll take the ball as a traditional starter on Sunday instead. Arrighetti has struggled to a 6.55 ERA over 11 innings in three appearances since joining the Jays.
Daulton Varsho

HOU Center Fielder #18

Daulton Varsho went 1-for-4 and smacked a two-run triple on Thursday, helping to lead the Astros past the visiting White Sox.

Varsho turned a 3-2 advantage into a 5-2 ballgame with his two-run three-bagger off of Luis Castillo in the third inning. He then scored on an RBI single off the bat of Christian Walker. It has been a rough go for Varsho at the dish since joining the Astros, slashing a meager .180/.248/.320 with three homers, 12 RBI and a 24/9 K/BB ratio over his first 109 plate appearances.
Spencer Arrighetti

TOR Starting Pitcher #45

Spencer Arrighetti allowed two runs in 3 2/3 innings and took the loss against the Guardians on Tuesday.

Arrighetti gave up two hits, walked one and struck out two. He fell to 7-8 with the loss. Arrighetti followed two openers, entering the game in the third inning. He has a 6.55 ERA in 11 innings over three appearances since joining the Blue Jays. The fact that Toronto is using Arrighetti as a bulk pitcher rather than a starter isn’t terrible for his fantasy value, but he simply hasn’t pitched well lately. He’s lined up to face the Royals on the road on Sunday.
Spencer Miles

TOR Relief Pitcher #62

Spencer Miles will be the opener for Tuesday’s game against the Guardians.

Spencer Arrighetti will then likely follow for the bulk role. Miles has been solid in an opener role for the Blue Jays, but that role doesn’t provide any fantasy value. Arrighetti has allowed seven runs (six earned) on eight hits in 7 1/3 innings since coming to the Blue Jays and should not be trusted in fantasy today.
Spencer Arrighetti

TOR Starting Pitcher #45

Spencer Arrighetti struggled in a losing effort against the Royals on Thursday night, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits over his four innings of work.

Arrighetti also issued a pair of walks in the contest while striking out four. The 26-year-old hurler served up a leadoff homer to Carter Jensen to start the game, then the Royals tacked on an unearned run before the first inning was through. They added another pair in the second on a two-run single by Jac Caglianone. Arrighetti got eight swings and misses on 79 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 27 percent. He’ll carry a 4.81 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and a 95/54 K/BB ratio (95 innings) into Wednesday’s battle against the Guardians in Cleveland.
Daulton Varsho

HOU Center Fielder #18

Daulton Varsho went 2-for-4 with a solo home run on Wednesday against the Yankees.

Varsho’s solo home run in the fourth inning briefly tied this game up before the Yankees jumped ahead in the bottom of that frame and pulled away later on. Nevertheless, he’s begun to pull the nose up after a rough start to his Astros tenure now riding a six-game hitting streak with four extra-base hits over that span.
Daulton Varsho

HOU Center Fielder #18

Daulton Varsho went 2-for-4 with a solo homer against the Athletics on Saturday.

Varsho knocked a base hit in the second inning, then later led off the seventh inning with a solo homer off Luis Medina. The 30-year-old outfielder is having a down season in the power department as Saturday’s blast was just his ninth home run of the season. He’s slashing .232/.297/.364 with 44 runs scored, 30 RBI, and 10 steals across 431 plate appearances.
Spencer Arrighetti

TOR Starting Pitcher

Blue Jays activated RHP Spencer Arrighetti from the 15-day injured list.

The 26-year-old hurler had been sidelined since late July due to a nerve issue in his right foot. He’s expected to make his Blue Jays’ debut in a bulk role against the Yankees on Friday evening in New York.
Daulton Varsho

HOU Center Fielder #18

Daulton Varsho is on the bench for Wednesday’s game against the Angels.

Varsho has hit just .125 (6-for-48) with one homer, three RBI and one steal across 13 games since being acquired from the Blue Jays at the trade deadline earlier this month. It’s an extremely small sample size, but Varsho could certainly use a mental reset to hopefully get back on track.

Roki Sasaki (blister) could be activated from the injured list next week.

Sasaki hit the injured list with a blister on his right middle finger roughly two weeks ago. It sounds like the issue has resolved itself to the point that he’ll be able to take the ball again for the final two weeks of the season.

Edwin Díaz (neck) could potentially be activated from the injured list this weekend.

Díaz is slated to make back-to-back appearances for Triple-A Oklahoma City this week before he’s potentially activated from the injured list. The 32-year-old former elite closer has been on the shelf with neck inflammation since late August. It feels highly unlikely that he’ll be thrust into high-leverage spots for the Dodgers right away.

Dansby Swanson (oblique) could begin a minor league rehab assignment next week, according to ESPN’s Jesse Rogers.

It sounds like there’s a decent chance that Swanson is back for the final week of the regular season after getting a couple rehab contests under his belt. The 32-year-old shortstop hit the injured list with an oblique strain back in mid-August.

Shea Langeliers (knee) will begin a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday.

Langeliers is on track to return at some point next week and will be limited to DH exclusively after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee back in July. It was believed to be a season-ending procedure at the time, but Langeliers has made a rapid recovery. He’s obviously worth picking up in any fantasy leagues where he’s available as a decent catching option for the final week-plus of the season.

Corbin Carroll was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Royals with lower back discomfort.

Carroll was dropped to the fifth spot in Arizona’s lineup over the weekend as his second-half struggles continue. The 26-year-old franchise cornerstone is hitting just .215 with six homers and 11 steals in 48 games since the All-Star break. It’ll be versatile Tim Tawa taking over in right field in his absence. There should be an update on his status following the contest, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

Winn returns to St. Louis’ lineup for Tuesday’s tilt against the Giants following a two-week absence due to a fractured left thumb. The 24-year-old shortstop has hit just .238/.314/.326 with 49 runs scored, five homers, 51 RBI and 10 steals in 490 plate appearances this season. He’s at shortstop and hitting eighth on Tuesday night at Oracle Park.

Nationals promoted SS prospect Eli Willits to Double-A Harrisburg.

Wilits receives an extra week of game action, and a sneak preview of the upper minors, after High-A Wilmington wrapped up their season over the weekend. The 18-year-old phenom, who was selected first overall in last year’s draft, hit .262/.404/.457 with 13 homers and 60 stolen bases in 521 plate appearances between High-A Wilmington and Low-A Fredericksburg. He figures to open next season back in Double-A with a legitimate chance to reach the majors before his 19th birthday.
